Atletico Madrid, meanwhile, may make a move if they are unable to secure the return of Belgian ace Thibaut Courtois, who has returned to parent club Chelsea after a three-year spell in the Spanish capital.

Navas is out of contact at Levante next summer, and according to reports has a release clause in his contract worth £6.5m.

He has played in Spain since 2010 when he joined Albacete from Costa Rican side Saprissa.

Navas then moved on loan to Levante in the summer of 2011 before making the move permanent 12 months later.
